New headcanon:
Alfor had been enamoured by myth of Oriande from a young age, and was absolutely convinced it was real. For a while in his childhood his parents just went with it. He was quite upset to hear it wasn’t real, and eventually decided he’d be the one that proved its existence.
When he found it, he ended up deciding it was something better left alone, and so kept it to himself. But if he walked around with a smug grin at the merest mention of the myth for years to come, well, who could blame him?

Maki: For Halloween, I’m gonna make a ghost.
Shuichi: Don’t you mean be a ghost?
Maki, polishing her crossbow:Nope.
I really enjoyed Stranger Things S4 up through chapter 7 (all that’s out right now). This doesn’t have major spoilers or plot elements, I just want to talk mostly about the characters and things I’m liking this season. The imagery is pretty good most of the time for big scenes, as is typical of the series, although a number of the monsters are just kinda CGI messes, it’s fine. I wish they lit things somewhat better, too, like I delayed watching the last episode until nightfall again because I started it and had trouble seeing. I was a little annoyed with squabbling and relationship dramas in S2 and S3 that doesn’t seem present in this one. Like, of course there’s some squabbling, but it mostly seems over kind of important things, and they talk things out eventually. I also have to admit, I wasn’t initially a huge fan of Max, but this season she has shone. That running sequence, in particular, was stunning. Dustin is always a gem, and I feel like Lucas has had more of a chance to breathe and show his personality when he’s in this group. I also like Eddie of course. His intro wasn’t great and I thought he’d be kind of a tool, but he won me over when I saw him DM-ing. Murray is less annoying and pretty helpful this time around. I’m pleased Jonathan has less screen time because his moping has never been a highlight for me. I think it was also a good move to not put too much focus on either Will or Mike as they don’t have that much to contribute right now. But Nancy is just a fucking pill so often. Just humorless and pushy. And all those manufactured moments with Steve. Just. No. Steve, don’t fall for it. You deserve better. Robin, don’t encourage him. Ship Nancy back to Jonathan for the last few episodes, please and thank you. Hopper and Joyce had I feel just enough screen time on their plot lines, and I actually really liked “Enzo”; hope he doesn’t die. Lastly, I liked seeing more of Eleven’s past, although it just makes me madder at the assholes in her new high school. Get fucking rekt, Angela.
Ok guys but what if the time-space distortions brought people into the past also but they can’t go beyond the barrier. Emmet gets stuck in one and sees Ingo a few seconds before he disappeared back to the present. Ingo turns to see someone that looks just like him as emmet disappears. He has tears in his eyes but he doesn’t know why.
